Hiking is fun. Figuring out how to get to the trails and where to turn is not. Hope this helps with reducing the latter and increasing the former!

Please, don't litter!

Hiking is about communion with nature. So please pickup after yourself. There's no excuse to leave plastic bags, water bottles or any rubbish on or around the trails; if you managed to bring it, you can manage to bring it back!

About 120m (2 minutes) into your walk along South Lantau road, you'll see a road on the right. Take it

Then, no more a few tens of meters into the path, you'll see a concrete path on your right. There are concrete basins right after. Can't miss it. Take the path. Note that you'll see the house on the left in the distance. Don't try to go through there. After about 50m, you'll get to the stream

Many pools to have a swim in...

After about 2.5 hours, you'll reach the South Lantau Country trail crossing the stream. Exit here on the right.

You can then walk all the way to Mui Wo, or take a bus back at South Lautau road.

(1) You'll pass the garden down on your right, then arrive here, in front of the red building. Go down the stairs on the left. Then turn right at the first street on the same block. Right again on Shiu Wo Street.

Minibus 82 is right there at the corner. There are quite a lot of them so, you'll quickly be on your way

No need to "yau lau" the driver for this one, minibus 82 's terminus is at the Pineapple dam which is your trail's starting point. Right off the bus, climb the stairs.

Follow the Pineapple Dam nature trail. Quite nice actually with the cicadas singing their heart's content and the butterflies in large number.

At the top of a bunch of steps, about 15 minutes, you will reach the road. Head right.

Pretty easy afterwards, just loop around the reservoir until you get back to your starting point at the bus stop. Hard to get lost!

Lady MacLehose Holiday Village stop. About 20 minutes on bus from Sai Kung

Right off the bus, keep going on the road for maybe 50m, just before the curb (there's also a trail going up that you will see in the distance), cross the road and go down to the stream, right over the railing. Go down to the stream and head left in the water. There are 2 streams merging more or less at the entry point, QiuFeng is the leftmost one.

The first 200-300 meters in the stream is flat. No worries, it gets nicer afterwards!

About 30 minutes in (500m), you'll reach the first large waterfall which can be bypassed on the left (or climbed right up in the falls as I did). But, the water is so nice, take a few minutes for a dip! Don't litter! I'm watching you!

Bypass on the left again. Nice pool with clean water

You'll then arrive at the One-line-fall (一線瀑), about 1.2km into the stream. Quite beautiful when full but it does look a bit scary. Never fear, you have an option to bypass it on the right as there's a path getting you to the top of the falls. Or, if you feel adventurous, climb the falls as pictured above, on the left

Another nice waterfall and pool after. Last chance for a dip.

Can be bypassed on the left but trivial climb in the waterfall itself

Coming close to the end of the stream now. You can miss the rock formation with the stream gently dropping in the middle. Just climb the rocks on the right as pictured.

Then, about 5-10m after that climb is the exit of the stream, on the left. It is marked with a ribbon. However, if you can't find the ribbon, no worries as the path is no more than 5m away so you can pretty much exit anywhere around that area and find the path. Head left on the path, back towards where you started.

You get on a paved road and you'll eventually see the trail signage on your left with stairs going down.

That's where you want to go

Next fork is here. Go left so you can reach Pak Tam road close to the 'Lady MacLehose' stop.

Pak Tam Au will also work but is going to be a bit more bus-ing

There you go, back on Pak Tam Rd where you head left and get take Bus 96R back to Diamond Hill MTR on holidays, or 94 back to Sai Kung
